Howard is pathetic, but it was great to see Sheldon being a tad protective by the end

@palharesf Howard is one of the worst characters I've ever had the displeasure to watch
That was a great episode, but not a good black mirror episode

I was about to turn it off after 50 minutes, way too boring and bad , the first half was about an abusive father and the kids should be taken away from him. The second part was much better, better story and plot. No way near the 8.1 of IMDB

@great_vc I'm confused, you're capable of watching a movie to think about and discuss the larger themes right? It's not a movie about child abuse. No one advocates or thinks child abuse is a positive thing. Living more removed from society is not tantamount to child abuse even if some of the lessons he instilled his children with created superficially illegal and dangerous situations. The story is about ideals vs reality. It's about the nature of society and human potential. If you forgo yourself the opportunity to discuss and access those themes because you're hung up on naive ideals regarding child rearing, it's no wonder you'd have a hard time seeing the value of the film.

While looking for the dragonballs Kylo Vegeta Ren finds the emperor and he reveals a clown car with 10 trillion death stars in it. Instead of conquering the galaxy the emperor chooses to just give it to Kylo as long as he kills Rey, because she is a sayan prince or something.
Meanwhile Rey is also looking for the dragonballs and to find a dragonball she needs a wooden stick that some guy made 10 days ago.
Luke and Lanpedo have been looking for this stick for 10 years, but Rey finds it after falling in a hole and helping a snake. She blows up 10.000 people with a kamehameha, but is sad because she lost her dog. Their robot needs to talk with an alien monkey on another planet because it can give him red eyes. Rey goes on Kylos ship to find her stick, kills a few hundred more people with a gun and finds her dog. Rey notices the stick looks like a death star so they go to the death star and find the dragonball. Vegeta comes and is killed by Rey because his mom calls his name. Rey brings him back to life because she wants to smooch and kills his mother. Kylo finds his sayan spirit and becomes a good guy (he only killed a few million people no big deal). Rey rams her ship into another planet for fun and finds another stick that points to the emperors clown car. The emporer wants to get whipped, by his granddaugther, because he is into that. Rey charges a spirit bomb with the power of her 10 trillion fans, but the emporer snaps his fingers and kills all her fans in 1 hit. Kylo comes to help Rey whip her granddad, but he slips and falls down a staircase. Rey grants her grandad's his dying wish, but because the she used the wrong whip they are both dead now. Kylo revives Rey, they smooch and he turns into a ghost. Also his mom now is a ghost. Rey uses the dragonballs to destroy 10 trillion death stars and become a dirt farmer with a different last name, because some ghosts nod their head. Somehow her 10 trillion fans are back alive, her dog gets a medal and Lanpedo starts an inappropriate relationship.

@roflmonkey A perfect summary, thanks for the laughs.
Absolutely disappointing rehash of the first trilogy. Disney had a real opportunity to do something new and exciting with this ipr but resorted to rushed writing with an extremely compressed story that makes no sense and fails to make anyone care for the characters or events. Emo Kylo is an outstanding metaphor for the whole deal.

My thoughts exactly. It was a caricature of itself. Terrible waste of time and money, though not as bad as episodes I-III for sure.

The only good thing I can say about this movie is that I hope it was intentionally made a rehash of the old trilogy intended to bring back the setting/feeling from it. This to pave the way for the second and third movies to build and expand upon the story in a meaningful way. Otherwise it's an utter fail that could have been produced a lot cheaper simply by re-cutting the old material from which pretty much all scenes were copied verbatim.

@Jim222001 The problem is that it left very little to give away, not that other way around. It was written in that very Disney/JJ Abrams manner - their entire story was divulged in one or two lines, usually in the introduction to the character. The amount of 'my grandfather' and 'our son' introductions is an example of this, it's one of the first things they teach you not to do in screenplay school, and the backstories of each character were often told to us almost as if they were speaking their autobiography, rather than actually showing us. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, using the word 'hater' is just a way to duck any obligation of logical retort on your part, but it wasn't a good film. A fun film fans will love, yes, but not a good film by more general standards and hopefully not the Star Wars we're going to keep getting. It needs a little less Michael Bay and a little more... well.. Rian Johnson hopefully.

I totally agree with you. I actually left the theatre as soon as the end credits were about to begin. I'm not caring to watch the next one at al midnight premiere, for sure. This movie is more like a fan film.

I couldn't agree with you more...the story is completely crap!
An authorized biopic is always a double-edged sword, even more so if it highlights a kind of messianic plan of the father rather than his daughters' own values. Because, after all, the Williams sisters are to their credit, as black women in a primarily white sport. A film designed in the shape of the Oscar, it contributes little to the staging of tennis and runs for about two and a half hours totally unnecessary.

@miguelreina wow, harsh review but it rings extremely true. I could not have said it better myself. I tried to like it more, then tried to like it less, and I'm still ambivalent on how I feel about it
How could people rate this already? Based on the trailer? Or where you part of the crew? I don't understand this...

I don't ever remember a structure being above the Garrison Pub even to this day!! Where did that come from??

In the previous seasons you can see huge steel structures above the bar. The thing is, a LOT of years has been passed since that.
To me, the biggest revelation of this episode was Polly's age

@henriquefalc same, i was doing the math in my head of how old she was in season 1 and then trying to figure out how old everyone else was/is i was like :thinking:
You have to be a little careful with judging this season because the episodes are split up by character. So you'll get the GOB and Tobias episodes which are the best of the entire show and will have you on your side laughing the entire time, and then you'll get the Maeby and George Sr. episodes which are pretty bad.

@seanmsu Update: Netflix ruined this season completely by backtracking on the original format and re-cutting it. It's now just all fucking trash and has no natural flow to it
So far I’ve not watched a single bad episode in this show. Ever. But I believe this was the first one. And let’s hope it’s the last.

Somehow, I always found Zach entertaining. He's too damn dumb to not chuckle a bit whenever he's around. Rajesh's story, on the other hand, is getting quite tiresome. But I guess everything in this show that envolves relationships has been getting tiresome for quite some seasons. Heck, for me, that's the one thing that ruined this show.

@misnomer Right, that too. At first that seemed natural as a means of character developement. But I agree it's become a different show. It is the nostalgia of the early seasons that keeps me watching but at the same time I am OK with it ending.

@misnomer The problem, from where I stand in regards to the relationships, is that not everyone has them. In real life there are people who don't have a partner or are married and are lucky. This show has taken the approach that being on your own is bad and pitiful and that's what I don't like.
This episode was actually quite nice, to the point of even the always annoying Bernardette being somewhat funny as Howard's pageant mom (but only slightly). I always enjoyed the magician persona of Howard, so it was nice to see them exploring that side of him again (and I was not expecting that final act to go that way!).
Also, I absolutely loved the whole fall and rise of Sheldon Cooper, that turnaround regarding his theory after watching an old recording of a casual speech of his dad was delightfully hopeful and sweet. I truly enjoyed the uplifting tone that oozed from the show at that time.
Young Sheldon's short participation, on the other hand, was absolutely forgetful, I was expecting more from that scene.loading replies
@misnomer Please stop your weekly whining about Bernadettte. Just because you don't find her funny doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.
This episode may have been the cutest thing I have seen on TV, and it completely sustains my opinion that the addition of Mayim Bialik to the main cast was the best decision TBBT producers ever made.
Mark Hamill was super funny, and it was great to see him on TV, but I laughed the most at Kripke singing at the end, John Ross Bowie is just so hilarious! He had about 20 seconds of screen time, and still he managed to be unforgettable!loading replies
@milkhoneytea if you think that, you saw very little TV.
